VB equivilant to c++

[S@njay]

Looking at some c++ code and trying to convert it into VB code.

this is from the microsoft documentation, there is no equvilant to VB anywhere. My main sruggle is converting the VAR into a VB equivilant.

 // Retrieve a PlaylistArray object that contains 
// exactly one Playlist object.
var plarray = WMP9.playlistCollection.[color=#ffffff]getByName[/color]("MyPlaylist");

// Get the Playlist object from the PlaylistArray object.
// The Playlist object has index number zero.
var pl = plarray.item(0);

// Make the retrieved playlist the current playlist.
WMP9.currentPlaylist = pl;

It could be a really easy solution, but my head is overloaded tonight

Er what c++ has no var data type? Looks like JScript to me. As for what to use it depends on what type .getByName("MyPlaylist") is returning. I guess an object?

Thought so! I dont understand this code

Damm MS!!

Still reading the documentation, but no refrence to the VAR thing.

Its the SDK for windows media player 10

In Jscript var is just anything since its non strong statically typed language. Your looking at object or similar in VB (Depends what the method returns).

isn't a weekly types object just a dim in VB?

and I don't think you can blame microsoft for the inability of C++ to have an untyped variable. You could try treating it as a generic object and then using reflection in the code to figure out what type it is?
